[SoonerinSouthlake]

b. which isnt hard becuase theirs is STUPID
c. I spent 30 minutes watching a lot of those other Sooner videos on youtube....great stuff

[Crucifax Autumn]

Isn't it fun just clicking and clicking through all the memories we have as the most successful team in the history of college football?

[bigheadtodd]

i agree ours is much better...but at least they use the whole screen

[instigator]

I would have loved to hear that pitch in a meeting...

We'll have animated cows running through the streets that get zapped with lightning that is shot from the statues of Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell and become minotaurs before running in to the stadium. It will be AWESOME!!111!!ONE!!1!

[LitiG8R]

Gators one by far! Can't believe its even worth a forum debate on it

[Partial Qualifier]

this is on of the horn's actual intro videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QZyrd6KGRg&feature=related

uhh.. in the 2nd half there are some shots of legit slobberknockers but there's some cheap shots too. (2:10 and 2:39).

Who puts cheap shots on their intro video?? Good lord.

[Harry Beanbag]

Um, no. Even UT's ridiculous animated cows are better than this lame production.

you only thought you had something else to do for the next hour. ;)

[guzziguy]

Ours is by far the best. Now, does anyone know where to get the one that ends with Coach Stoops holding up a football and saying something about turning this (the football) into this ( a crystal football)?

[guzziguy]

Ahhh, it's on there PQ. Thanks.

They've used that a few times, but I think this was the first time.

Hell they used it at the Tech game, but I forgot.

[AzianSooner]

Wonderful, man.. just wonderful.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Does anybody have the vid of the kids with their dog pulling the wagon around?

[GG84]

Nothing better than watching the Gator highlight video followed by hearing "THE SWAMP, ONLY GATORS GET OUT ALIVE... Heeeeeeerrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee come the Gators!" and then listening to the loudest stadium in college football erupt in cheers.

Do you have a link?

Don't know if they'll make a new one for the MNC but if not, then the Tech Intro would still be a good one to use - "One more...., one more......"
:cool:

Oh yeah, and it would have been nice to have full screen on that - what's up with that - HD or why?
:confused:

Ok... first of all, Texas' sucks.

Second of all... we're not playing Texas, so here's Florida's:

Just in case you think I'm kidding, another angle:

[silverwheels]

Well that is incredibly lame.

[SoonerTank]

Well that is incredibly lame.

:D It looks as though some fans think it was just great!!!

Great vid. Here's the crowd's reaction to it:

I did think you were joking. When GG84 said how great it was when they say that "only Gators get out alive". I never pictured it that way. :rolleyes:

Best home game I have ever attended.

[sooner59]

Rebels got out alive....

[A Sooner in Texas]

What makes our intro so great (besides the fact that it's about OU) is because it focuses on players and coaches. Cartoon cows and alligators in swamps are great for the 10 year olds. Ours is made for fans of real football.

Wow, that's just tragically bad.

Oh well. When you're short on football tradition, you're forced to use more wildlife footage.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

omg that's not bad that's horrible.

[PrideTrombone]

Wow, I really thought a school like Florida might have an intro video better than something like that.

That was horrible, that idea.

[SoonerBacker]

That Gator intro is pathetic. So is the Whorn video, but I expect that from Whorns.) Don't the Gators have SOME football heritage they could put into it? Pics of a bunch of gators floating around in the scum of a swamp don't have anyting to do with football heritage. If you're going to have the pics of gators, at least have them in attack mode or something.

[oupride]

Does anyone know the name of the background music name of OUr intro? I have always wondered where it originate from. Anyone know?

[RoaminSooner]

Anybody notice we're missing 3 of the highlighted players in the vid? Reynolds, Granger, Murray, and you could throw English (he's not fully recovered)in there as well.

We're going to miss them.

[8timechamps]

A couple of thoughts:

1. The Texas vidoe is freakin' awesome! If you're about 6 years old, or a big fan of Toy Story, Bug's Life, etc.

2. The Florida intro may be the worst intro I've ever seen. Really.

[OKC-SLC]

A couple of thoughts:

fixed.

[boomersooner28]

After seeing those other lame *** productions from other schools, thank you OU video department on a helluva job with our intro videos. We have the best in the country.

[Crucifax Autumn]

If Florida's video guys woulda made ours it would have been 3 minutes of a broken down wagon sitting in some grass.

Then a voiceover woulda said "circle up".

That's pretty stupid and so is the one they actually made. Ours gives goosebumps and focuses on the future and the now while also respecting tradition.

[Lott's Bandana]

Oh yeah, and it would have been nice to have full screen on that - what's up with that - HD or why?
:confused:

They did use the entire screen...check the graphics that are used to create a shadowbox effect...at times the entire screen is the same. On most of the highlights the screen is full, but when players/coaches are talking they shadowbox it because you can't stretch their faces...watch it again. They do a great job with production.

[12]

I would type a clever reply but a huge pile of awesome is in the way.

[12]

Who among us didn't BOOMER when Billy was walking up to the microphone? Holy Cow... makes me tear up.

[SteelCitySooner]

Intro video smack? We getting bored here fellas? Jan 8 can't get here soon enough!

[silverwheels]

Does anyone know the name of the background music name of OUr intro? I have always wondered where it originate from. Anyone know?

Early in the video you get part of "A Dark Knight" from The Dark Knight score, and the latter part is The Contender theme, I think.

[12]

I'll never forget the 2003 A&M video...
